Articles on the Civil war- The Winner Writes the History!

[Tolkien]

The second article in a series about the Civil War has been published in History Is Now Magazine. This article explores a topic that historians have largely ignored: the reasons for the secession of the Upper South. It's an excellent read for anyone interested in gaining insight and access to original sources to challenge the misconception that secession was about slavery.

In my book Defending Dixie's Land, I argue that the Southern states seceded for multiple reasons, with slavery being just one of them and not the primary cause. Slavery was a cause for the Cotton States (not the Upper South) but had more to do with state rights than the preservation of human bondage. My latest article addresses this subject.
